EXTEMPORE JUDGMENT

  1. HIS HONOUR: The matter returns to me today because of the requirement of s 72 of the Crimes Appeal and Review Act 2001 (the Crimes Appeal Act) that when I order Mr Sun to pay the Department’s costs I must state a time within which the costs are to be paid.

  2. Consistent with the discussion by Pepper J in Mouawad v The Hills Shire Council (No 2) [2013] NSWLEC 172, I am satisfied that it is appropriate to vary the order that I made when I dealt with Mr Sun’s appeal by which I ordered him to pay the Prosecutor’s costs as agreed or assessed.

  3. To comply with the terms of the Crimes Appeal Act, it is appropriate that I discharge that order and make the following order in its place.

  1. The Appellant is to pay the Prosecutor’s costs other than the costs of the mention on 19 November 2018 as agreed or assessed, with such costs to be paid within 60 days after an agreement as to the amount of costs has been made or the issue of a Certificate of Assessment of any such costs, whichever is earlier.
